70% of transformers are past their design life. Wind turbine failures cost $2M+ each. The volume of telemetry data from modern grid-edge devices is overwhelming traditional SCADA alert management. OpenDSO turns real-time telemetry into actionable intelligence.
Circuit Modeling and Digital Twin Simulation
CIM-based models from CYME, Synergi, OpenDSS, and other industry tools are ingested and maintained as living models reflecting actual operating conditions. Circuit simulation via OpenDSS integration validates DER control strategies and edge application logic before field deployment. Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) integration with Typhoon HIL and Opal-RT provides the highest-fidelity pre-deployment testing available, enabling real-time simulation of physical device behavior alongside OpenDSO edge applications.
Automated Energy Storage Testing
The OpenDSO Energy Storage Testing Application automates EPRI ESIC, DOE ROV, and utility-defined test suites across any BESS asset. Compress 6-8 weeks of manual commissioning to days.
Commissioning cost reduction
Periodic testing efficiency
Standardized compliance reporting
MVP test suite: Available energy capacity (100%/75%/50%), rated continuous power across all four quadrants, Watt/Var characterization, and Volt/Var regulation including V-Q curve and deadband analysis.
Extensible roadmap: Roundtrip efficiency, self-discharge rate, response/rise/settling time, harmonic distortion (IEEE 1547), peak load reduction duty cycle, microgrid resiliency and black start, frequency ride-through (LVRT/HVRT), and autonomous frequency regulation.
AI-Powered Asset Health Analytics
AI recommends — humans decide. The LLM reasons over data — it does not invent measurements.
AI Inputs
- Asset metadata and current health index (0-100 score)
- Category and metric scores with confidence levels
- Real-time sensor telemetry: voltage, current, temperature, gas pressure
- Historical operational context, duty cycle, and environmental data
AI Outputs — Automated Health Reports
- Executive summary: condition grade (A-F) and primary risk statement
- Detailed health: electrical, thermal, mechanical, and fault history scoring
- Root cause analysis: ranked probable causes backed by sensor evidence
- Prioritized maintenance actions (Priority 1-3) with inspection steps
- Plain-language operator alert with one clear field instruction
Fleet-Level Intelligence
- Overall health index — single composite score per asset class, updated continuously
- Top 5 degraded assets — ranked priority view for immediate operator attention
- Critical asset percentage — fleet-level KPI for executive situational awareness
Asset classes covered:
Circuit breakers, reclosers, generators, transformers, BESS systems. Roadmap extends to all DER asset classes
